Having missed out on this one in the Spring was pleased to get a Satellite as the only visitor to the garden trap last night.

Vestal variations
Well it is certainly turning out to be a pretty good autumn for migrant moths and I have managed to get in on the action a little too.
Had five Vestal over the last three days, showing the considerable variation in this beautiful species.

700 and beyond...
Whilst finally getting MapMate up to date, after what has been a very busy season, I realised that I have now passed the 700 species mark for my humble back garden. Some of the species that pushed it beyond 700 are illustrated below...
Scallop Shell (Rheumaptera undulata)
Pempelia obductella
Loxostege sticticalis
Evergestis limbata

Moth of Kent or Kentish Moth?
Just a play on the age old conundrum for those born in the Garden of England that is, are you a Man (or Maiden) of Kent or a Kentish Man (or Maiden).
These two just lend themselves to this wordplay and they're good looking moths to boot: the first is Kent Black Arches and the second is a Black Arches from Kent...

More cool cats
A couple of great looking caterpillars that I am rearing through. I particularly love the 'face' on the Mullein cat...
